Rubber Gasket

A rubber gasket is a sealing component made from rubber or elastomeric material, and it is used to create a tight and secure seal between two mating surfaces or components. Rubber gaskets are designed to prevent the leakage of fluids (such as liquids or gases) and to provide a barrier against the ingress of contaminants (such as dust, dirt, or moisture) in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications. Here are some key characteristics and applications of rubber gaskets:

1. Material: Rubber gaskets are typically constructed from various rubber or elastomeric compounds, including natural rubber, synthetic rubber (such as silicone rubber, EPDM, Nitrile, or Viton), and other specialized elastomers. The choice of material depends on the specific application requirements, including resistance to temperature, chemicals, or UV exposure.
